About our fish and chip van hire in Agar Town
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and work Christmas parties.
Streets in Agar Town are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What affects the price in Agar Town
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Agar Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Agar Town
Can you serve after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Agar Town?
Camden Road station, in Agar Town itself.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Count children separately
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Send allergies to us in writing
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
